the bar, standing as an iconic reminder of a legendary age of jazz. Showmans Jazz Club has showcased
top musicians and legendary artists which include Sarah Vaughan, Lionel Hampton, Duke Ellington, Pearl Bailey,
Eartha Kitt, Jimmy Rogers,Grady Tate, Jimmy The Preacher Robins, Lou Dobbs, The Copasetics with
